015: Into the Holy of Holies (Why celibacy for priests? Part I)
The Thoughtful Catholic
Why does the Catholic Church require most of its priests to live a celibate life? In this episode I’ll present a few thoughts to ponder from Pope Benedict on this subject from the book “From the Depths of Our Hearts: Priesthood, Celibacy, and the Crisis of the Catholic Church” by Pope Benedict and Robert Cardinal Sarah. Another episode will reflect on Cardinal Sarah's reflection on the same topic.
